The October 9th Meeting will be held at the Regional Science Center (Buffalo State Park) instead of the usual location at the MSUM planetarium. Meeting time will still be the same: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM.

The reason for the change of location is because we were asked to send one person to help out with a small observing night. Our fearless president made a decision to relocate the meeting so we can (hopefully) all enjoy a bit of telescope time.

Everyone is encouraged to bring scopes along!

Wednesday, October 3 from 7:30 - 9:00 PM is the Lake Agassiz Rock Club monthly meeting. The rock club meets in Stevens Hall, Room 130, at North Dakota State University.

The featured speaker will be North Dakota palenotoligist Dr. John W. Hoganson. For more information on North Dakota Geologic Survey and Dr. Hoganson see the following link:

Thursday, October 4, 2007 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM is the annual Fall Fantasy event. Club members should try to arrive around 6:30 PM to help set up scopes if it’s clear. 

Local animals will be the topics at campfires on the trails of the Buffalo River Site. Guests will walk through the woods stopping to enjoy interpretive dramatizations about local wildlife. If the skies are clear, telescopes will be set up to view the autumn sky. The event is free, children must be accompanies by an adult.
